Terence Tao has an IQ above 200.
Youngest gold medalist in Math Olympiad history. Fields Medal winner. The greatest living mathematician by nearly any measure.
And he just said something most people aren’t ready for.
Tao: “This whole era of AI is teaching us that our idea of what intelligence is, is not really accurate.”
We spent centuries building civilization on one assumption.
That intelligence was sacred. Irreducible. Uniquely ours.
The one thing that made the entire human story make sense.
Then AI started solving things we swore only we could.
Chess. Language. Vision. Math.
And every time, we reached for the same defense.
That’s not real intelligence. It’s just tricks. Just pattern matching. Just an algorithm.
Tao: “You look at how it’s done and it doesn’t feel like intelligence.”
So we moved the line.
Again. And again. And again.
Because intelligence was supposed to feel like something. Something deep. Something we could point to and say… this is what separates us from everything else.
But AI kept solving the problems.
And that feeling never arrived.
Tao: “We were looking for some elusive, intelligent way of thinking and we don’t see it in the tools that actually solve our goals.”
Here’s what makes it worse.
Large language models work by predicting the next word. One word at a time. No grand architecture. No deep understanding. Just probability.
And it works.
Tao: “Maybe that’s actually a lot of what humans do as well.”
The greatest living mathematician just told you human thought might run on the same machinery.
Not some transcendent spark.
Pattern recognition. Prediction. One thought, one decision, one word at a time.
We built religion around intelligence. Philosophy around it. An entire species identity around it.
And a machine running probability just held up a mirror.
We didn’t lose intelligence to AI.
We just finally saw what it always was.
What haunts us isn’t that machines learned to think.
It’s that thinking was never what we needed it to be.

This, a direct result of Trump’s tariff policy which is a study in ignorance and incompetence.
“China is quietly executing a massive financial strike against the United States. In just one week, Beijing dumped a record-breaking amount of US Treasury bonds. For decades, China bought American debt, which helped keep the US economy running smoothly. But now, they are dumping it faster than ever before. This is a deliberate strategy to shield themselves from US sanctions and aggressively weaken the American dollar's dominance. If China continues this massive selloff, US borrowing costs will explode, triggering inflation and crushing American consumers. The financial Cold War has officially gone hot, and the battlefield is the global bond market.”
How long can the US economy survive without foreign buyers for its debt?

Japanese scientists have successfully removed the extra chromosome associated with Down syndrome from human cells in a laboratory setting using CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology.
In this early-stage research, led by a team working in Japan including Dr. Ryotaro Hashizume, scientists targeted cells carrying trisomy 21, the condition where an individual has three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the usual two. Using CRISPR-based methods, they were able in some cases to eliminate the extra chromosome from affected cells grown in the lab.
Following this genetic correction, more than 30% of treated cells showed signs of restored or improved normal cellular function, suggesting that removing the additional chromosome could potentially reverse some of the biological disruptions linked to the condition at a cellular level.
However, this work is still strictly experimental and has only been carried out in isolated cells under laboratory conditions. It has not been tested in animals or humans, and there are significant challenges ahead, including how to safely target only the extra chromosome without affecting normal genetic material, and how to deliver such a treatment to the correct cells in the body.
Scientists emphasise that while this represents an important proof of concept for chromosome-level gene editing, any real-world therapeutic application for Down syndrome would require many more years of research, along with careful ethical review and safety testing.

@TheDataHubX The UK, USA, Canada, NZ, and Australia should establish a union called 'United of Smith.'
Meanwhile, India, Fiji, and Papua are family. 😅

@SputnikInt $18 billion in retail transactions between two countries last year

🚨🇨🇳🇮🇩 China & Indonesia bypass the dollar with QR integration
People can now scan QR codes seamlessly across China and Indonesia for retail transactions via Indonesia's QRIS system
The introduction reflects Indonesia's push to promote local currency transactions and reduce reliance on the US dollar in cross-border payments
QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) is Indonesia's national QR payment standard, introduced in 2019 to unify all digital wallets and bank apps into a single scanning system
The move deepens financial cooperation and digital payment integration, boosting tourism and trade while reinforcing Asia's payment connectivity
With transactions settling directly in rupiah and yuan, Chinese tourists can now scan an Indonesian QRIS code using Alipay or UnionPay
